The blazes have destroyed nearly 15 million acres of land, and the fire season is expected to go into September. With it comes the threat of smoky days in Minnesota and North Dakota.

As the summer heat intensifies, people across Canada are facing the full brunt of wildfire season. Communities are being evacuated and properties are being destroyed as fires grow in size.

It’s not uncommon for nasty winter and summer weather to disrupt flight schedules and other operations at Canada’s biggest and busiest airport, but officials at Toronto Pearson Airport in Mississauga say a relatively new threat has also emerged.
